TF2 Rant/Complain/Whine/Moan Thread

[Ceceil Felias]

I practically just use the backburner in part with the shotgun for counter-pyrowhoring strategies. The +50 health helps, and it's not like it's worth using if you keep your distance. Just shotgun them to death.

Plus, pyro vs. pyro or not, if you do get a good opportunity to use the backburner... Pow.

[jdub28]

The pyro is the ambush character. He is a guerrilla soldier that relies on flanking and either a slow shooting flare gun or short range shotgun. He should be awarded for flanking, just as the spy is rewarded for sneaking, the demo is rewarded for having his stickies in a good place, the engineer is rewarded for having a level 3 sentry up, etc.

The health maybe a little too much but the backburner fits right in with the strategy Valve thought the pyro should use. I would hope that they can find as perfect a match of a new weapon for the remaining classes.

FFS, to all of you that do this repetitive quotation shit, it's really getting annoying. Say something yourself instead of being an unimaginative twat all the time.
I swear, I can find this kind of bullshit in every single thread.

My (non-pyro related) pet peeve is a player-based one, and not a game-based one: During set-up time, DO NOT TAKE THE AMMO BOXES WHEN AN ENGY IS TRYING TO SET UP A SENTRY.  I hate hate hate getting my sentry ready, working on the upgrade, and then having a soldier stroll over and take away the full-metal refill box because he's been dicking around firing rockets at the wall.  If you really want to help your team, let your engies do what they need to do, and conserve your ammo for actual fighting.

Well said sir.

[Sweater]

Crits are an award to good players, lets say a soldier just spawned,  he has a 5% chance of a critical shot. Now lets say that the soldier kills a heavy or causes a lot of damage his chances of getting a crit increase to 20% I believe, but it is a small window of opportunity, so like I said crit shots are like bonuses or awards, and yes that 5% chance happens but people make it seem that everyshot from a soldier is a crit. And a side note, soldiers and demos cause considerably more damage due to their stickies & rockets (splash damage), so its seems right that they get criticals more often.

What (crit rocket damage) should be

Direct - 300
Very Close - 225
Mid - 150
Far - 75

This would be pretty damn nice. Also, I have another thing to complain about. HLstats. They do a good job of making the game less fun I suppose... There are a number of people who refuse to 'have fun' anymore because they would lose their precious points. I was against putting this on the server for that exact reason, then after realizing a few weeks into it being on the server that I was becoming the above, it was probably best to go down a few ranks so I would have my freedom back. Also, if it must stay (and it must...) it should at least give reasonable points for the various actions. Stupid HLstats.

Couldn't agree more, which is the reason why I use the backburner so often.... I'm good at flanking...

In reference to HLStatsx, I haven't noticed much of a difference in anyone's playstyles, but I also haven't been on that much as of late. Has it really gotten to be noticeable?

Hey now.. weren't you the one flaming people with the pyro in the "melee only" sudden death match the other day?

I don't even appear on those, I am over that mortal stuff.

[jdub28]

I don't have a problem with back crits, but the health bonus is too much. If it is 200 normal and 275 with medic buff I would be happy. Pyros should not have more health than a soldier at normal and more health than a heavy with buff.

[Master Shake]

This thread is worthless....Stop complaining.  Obviously everyone loves the game and how its played, thats why you're all here.

[Panda]

So I'm suddenly not allowed to dislike anything about a game I play?  Games don't get better by taking everything with smiling acceptance, they improve from staunch criticism.

If it bothers you stay the fuck out of the thread, if you really love every single thing about TF2 you shouldn't care that other people don't.  Unless of course you have to be a dickwad to quiet the voices in the back of your head that tell you people in this thread have a point and maybe your perfect game isn't quite so.

Anyway I have a new rant: when I'm too drunk to do anything but play engineer and Dave keeps shanking me as a spy.  Fuck.
